Description
ATTENTION! Mint-Minus Records / St*ney Bl*ke are delighted to announce the delivery of a brand-new KEITH MONKS 'Prodigy' professional record-cleaning machine to enhance the vinyl service. The Prodigy is the latest model of record-cleaning machine (available for the first time in 2020), from the World-renowned Keith Monks company and is already receiving excellent reviews in the HI-Fi press. The machine has been acquired in order to increase the quality of the vinyl that is sold through this site to the highest level possible, and initial use of the machine has given excellent results.
What difference does this make to the records that are advertised here?
From this point on ALL vinyl that I sell will have been cleaned using this machine, combined with a specially formulated KEITH MONKS or ART DU SON record-cleaning solution made from pure bio-degradable ingredients.
PROCEDURE
1) Firstly the disc will be thoroughly cleaned. 2) The disc will then be FULLY play-graded, to enable an accurate grading for the advert. (How many dealers offer this service?) This is done on a very high quality Linn Sondek turntable fitted with a £180 Denon stylus.
Gradings are made according to the Record Collector Magazine grading system.
I have collected records since the mid-seventies and most of the records I advertise have only been played on high quality turntables.
